that program is run by the city's gang reduction unit. detroit, michigan, has seen a bunch of these buybacks, including one last august, where more than 700 guns were turned in at one location in just six hours on just one day. the most interesting question to come out of the president's press conference today is what exactly will happen at the federal level on the reform of gun laws. the president said there would be firm proposals from his administration in a matter of weeks. real reforms right now, he said. but whether or not there is specific and consequential action at the federal level to reduce gun violence, honestly, specific and consequential action can happen in any town, any time. with almost no notice and very, very little planning. that's what these gun buyback programs show. they can be held in small towns and big cities. they can happen in parking lots or in churches or in grocery stores. the money can come from a local government or it can come from you. it won't solve every problem. it will not prevent every crime. it wil
